Software-Defined RF Processing for Flexible Space Communications

Seamless, flexible and mission ready. 

As satellite missions expand in scope and complexity, traditional communication systems are struggling to keep pace.

Advanced missions demand advanced space communications infrastructure. We must evolve from analog  systems to software-defined systems that prioritise seamless, adaptable communications.

NuComm, Ramon.Space’s onboard communications processor, is leading this evolution. Built for the demands of modern space missions, NuComm is a software-defined RF processor that delivers unparalleled flexibility, adaptability, and performance. 

NuComm: powering the next generation of space communications

NuComm is more than just a communications processor—it’s a platform for innovation. Ramon.Space’s RF processor enables higher performance in satellite  communications on orbit. These processors are specifically engineered to support communications constellation fleets with high-capacity, low-power, and cost-effective programmable digital communications that can be updated while in orbit. 

With its reconfigurable architecture, NuComm supports arbitrary waveforms, seamlessly adapting to legacy systems or advanced protocols. Designed to address the unique challenges of space-based communications, NuComm enables a wide range of communication applications across commercial, defense, and operational missions.

Satellite Constellations
NuComm is purpose-built to support the growing demand for satellite constellations in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), and Geostationary Orbit (GEO). Its reconfigurable architecture allows seamless integration across multi-orbit networks, enabling high-capacity, low-latency communications for applications like global broadband, Earth observation, and IoT connectivity.


5G Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN)
NuComm brings terrestrial-grade 5G connectivity to space, enabling transparent and regenerative processing for 5G NTN. This capability supports high-speed data transfer, real-time video streaming, and advanced IoT applications, bridging the gap between terrestrial and space-based networks.


Defense and Secure Communications
For defense missions, NuComm provides secure, resilient, and adaptable communications infrastructure. Its ability to support arbitrary waveforms and advanced protocols ensures compatibility with legacy systems while meeting the stringent requirements of modern defense networks.

Inter-Satellite Links
NuComm’s high-speed interfaces enable efficient inter-satellite communication, critical for data relay and coordination in constellation fleets. This capability enhances mission efficiency and reduces reliance on ground stations

Enabling the future of space communications

NuComm combines increased operational efficiency with in orbit upgradability, delivering superior SWaP-C performance and best-in-class channelizer capabilities across a diverse range of applications. Whether for a single satellite or mega constellation, NuComm scales efficiently to meet diverse mission demands. 

Deploy once, configure infinitely – Ramon.Space’s RF processor, NuComm, is setting a new standard for flexibility in space communications.

Common Sense: Avoiding Single-Source Dependency in Government Contracts

Today, as the U.S. Department of War increasingly relies on critical space assets—from satellite communications to reconnaissance platforms—officials should heed Paine’s timeless advice: apply common sense. Entrusting national security capabilities to a single commercial provider contradicts that wisdom, creating vulnerabilities where strategic stability depends on private agendas or individual personalities. Avoiding single-source dependency is not just a strategic choice—it’s a national security imperative.
